Waiting Time Before Revision Blepharoplasty?

It is actually uncommon to revise eyelid surgery results overall. If necessary, I recommend waiting a full 12 months for final healing to occur before revising. Often times, Botox can help improve the heavy areas that persist after surgery and make the results more pleasing.

The time you will need to wait before revising your lower lid will depend upon which aspect of your surgery you are unhappy with. I would suggest waiting six months or more if your lid feels tight. The tissues will begin to soften and your lid will feel more normal with adequate time. If the lid is grossly retracted and your eye is having medical and visual issues, your surgeon may elect to intervene sooner. If your surgery was performed with an incision at the corner of your eyes and you are not happy with the appearance of your scar, your surgeon my elect to wait six months but, if it is grossly malformed, intervening sooner is also an option.
